Your Truck is Your Livelihood. Get it Running Right.
When your GM truck or van starts acting up—stalling, shifting hard, or refusing to start—your entire day grinds to a halt. A faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit, causing a cascade of confusing issues that can be difficult to diagnose. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s downtime that costs you time and money. We offer the definitive solution: a reliable, professionally Programmed 12602801 PCM that arrives ready to install, getting you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing PCM is the likely cause:
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but will not start.
- Erratic or Harsh Shifting: The transmission slams into gear or shifts at the wrong times.
- Check Engine Light with Communication Codes: Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U0100, indicating a loss of communication with the module.
- Stalling or Poor Performance: The engine may die unexpectedly or suffer from a significant loss of power.
- Fuel Economy Issues: A sudden and unexplained drop in MPG.

An Expert’s Note on PCM Replacement: I’ve been diagnosing and repairing vehicles for over two decades. In the past, replacing a PCM was a major headache. You’d install the new part, but the vehicle would be dead until it was towed to a dealer for expensive programming. Our process changes the game. By sending you a fully Programmed 12602801 PCM tailored to your exact VIN, we’ve turned a multi-day ordeal into a simple, straightforward repair you can often complete in your own driveway. We handle the complex computer work so you can focus on the mechanical swap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that we do all the programming for you before the part ever leaves our facility. Simply provide your VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready for installation.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, we will need the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for the vehicle this part will be installed in. This ensures we load the correct, specific software for your truck’s engine, transmission, and options.
Will this part require a CASE or Crankshaft Variation Relearn?
In many cases, a Crankshaft Variation Relearn (also known as a CASE relearn) is recommended after installation to prevent a P0315 trouble code and ensure the smoothest engine operation. This is a simple procedure that can be completed with most professional-grade scan tools.
Is this compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this PCM is a direct, fully compatible replacement for the following original equipment part numbers: 12589462, 12602801, and 89017749.
How do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your VIN can be found in a few easy-to-find locations: on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the sticker in the driver’s side door jamb, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
